CONDENSING APPARATUS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. '24, 191 a.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that We, Earn, J OSSE and WIL- IIELM GENsEoKE, citizens ofthe German Empire, residing at Berlin-Lankwitz and Berlin-lVilmersdorf,"respectively, Germany, have invented certain new and useful.Improvements in Condensing Apparatus, of which the following is a full,clear, and exact description.

The present invention relates to apparatus for producing the additionalwater required in a distilled state for power generating plants. Inmodernturbine plants it is possible to obtain an absolutely pure productof condensation, but a part of the water fed to the steam boiler, about5 to- 10% is lost owing to leakage, blowing oil of the boilers, etc.,and must, of course, be replaced It is most advantageous if thisadditional water is absolutely pure distilled water.

Now according to the present'invention the distilled water is producedin the following manner The steam is taken from the power engine,

for instance, from a steam turbine. preferably from one of the laststeps of the same and passed through a vaporizer to the condenserof thepower engine. The vapors formed in the vaporizer are also fed to thecondenser of the power engine. It is thus evident that for thevaporization the waste steam of the power engine is used, the greatestpart of the heat of this waste steam having already been consumed sothat consequently a very small amount of heat or energy is required forthe production of the product of distillation.

For rendering the present invention more easily intelligible referenceis had to the accompanying drawing, which shows an em-- bodiment of anapparatus forcarrying the method above referred to into practice.

In the drawing a designates the power engine, I) the waste steam conduitand c the surface condenser, the waste steam being passed to the saidcondenser through the said conduit 7). e is another conduit throughwhich the raw water to be vaporized is fed to the vaporizer d. From oneof the last steps of the power engine, for instance, a steam turbine,steam is taken from the outlet port f'and passed through a conduit f tothe vaporizer (Z, in which a pipe arrangement (1' is provided, and fromthere through another conduit f and aregulating-valveg to the condenserThe vapors formed in the vaporizer are fed through a pipe 9 also to thecondenser e, in which they are de-- posited and won as a pure product ofcon-' supplying raw water to the said vaporizer,

a series of steam outlet ports in the turbine, means for. feeding thesteam from the turbine through the said outlet ports to the vaporizerand from the vaporizer to the condenser, means for feeding the vaporsformed in the vaporizer to the condenser and a regulating organ, forgoverning the supply of steam from the vaporizer to the condenser,substantially as described.

In testimony whereof we atlix our signa- 'tures in the-presence-ot' twowitnesses.
